These emission standards are
very important to the landfill
industry because they affect
federal, state and local air
quality permits.

SWANA and NSWMA expressed concern
on the following issues:

The rejection of non-methane
organic compounds concentration
data from NSPS/EG Tier 2
studies using the geoprobe
method; and

The rejection of data submitted
in 2000 and 2001 and the
failure of EPA to advise
of the rejection until
2009.

The two associations hope that
through the further review of
new data submitted by their
members and a thorough review
of current published technical
literature, EPA can revise the
draft AP-42 and background information
document accordingly.
